Laim Patent No. 89,068, dated April 20, 1869.

IMPRO'V'ED HAVES-THOUGH SUSPENDER.'

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same To whom it may concern: i

Be it known that I, THOMAS F. PALM, of Toledo, Lucas county, Ohio, have invented a new and improved Mode of Suspending Eaves-Troughs from Buildings; and I hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and

exact description ofthe construction and operation of Y the same, reference being had to the annexed drawings, which are hereby made a part of this specification.

Figure 1 is a perspective view.

Figure A is a strap, or loop.

Figure B is a clampl or clasp.

To enable` others skilled in the art to make and use my invention,.I describe its construction and use, as follows:

A is a'metal strap, or loop, shaped, as nearly as possible, to conform to the outside shape vof the eavestrough C, which is suspended in it. J

-At the top of each side of the trough, each part of the strap or loop is bent inward at a right angle, and across the face or mouth of the trough, to a point at or near the middle or centre of' the same. Then the parts of the strap, or loop are bent upward at a right angle, immediately over which angle, Where the parts of the strap, orloop, come in contact, the clamp, or clasp B, is placed, thus holding the parts of the strap, or loop, firmly together, and securely fastening the trough therein. I

to the building, or it maybe soldered to a metal roof.

B is a metal clamp, or'clasp, formed by bringing the two ends of the material used together, and the parts parallel, so' that the inner surfaces of the same shallA touch, and the elasticity of the metal, when the clamp, or clasp, is placed across the parts of the strap, or loop, where they come in contact above the face or mouth of the trough, will hold them rmly together.

What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The arrangement of the metal strap, or loop B, and the metal clamp, or clasp A, applied to the trough, or roof, in the manner and for the purposes herein specified.

THOMAS F. PALM."
